Andrea and Josh's Winona Wedding - Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

{Karin here!}
I could begin in kindergarten when Andrea and I met – but instead, I’d love to indulge you with when they met…..

Summer – August – 2003. Josh was a police reserve protecting the newly crowned Goodview Royalty court that Andrea was on. He was the knight – she was the princess : )

Nearly 7 years later – they are king and queen of their white castle with a barn, silo and chicken coop on 5 acres – and happier they’ve ever been : )

I was SO honored to be part of Andrea and Joshua’s wedding day – it is the first wedding I have ever been in {minus ours!} and it was SO fun!!! {kind of weird being on the other end!}

We started off the weekend’s events by making our own bouquets on Friday, followed by the reception and a lovely dinner at Cedar Valley Golf Course.

The next morning kicked off with doing our hair and eating fresh Bloedows donuts…. amazing! Then off to the church for dressing and pictures : )

I’ve known Andrea for 2ish decades now, and Josh for 7ish years and I have never see either of them any happier. Andrea looked amazing, her dress – FABULOUS!

Andrea – you have been such an amazing friend for so many years and it has been so much fun seeing you grow into the fabulous woman you are today.

Josh – never forget how amazing this girl is. Period.

To you both – keep God your center, kiss each other everyday and always – ALWAYS – have at LEAST 2 dogs : )

Love you both,
~K : )

Katie and Nate's Winona Engagement Session

It was so much fun taking Nate and Katie’s pictures – I have know Nate since high school {yeay band!} and I actually coached Katie’s high school dance team for one season! We are also both a part of the history of Miss Winona’s : )

Anyways – we went down to Latsch Island in Winona and got some great photos. We are so excited for their August 15th wedding back in Winona!!

Location: Winona, MN

Dana and Bre's Minnehaha Wedding - Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

When we first met Bre and Dana – we knew that they would be one of those couples – as in – we would really get along with them : ) TRUE! They are such fabulous people and we enjoyed every minute of hanging out with them and being part of their day!

We started with them at 4pm on a beautiful Friday summer afternoon… The sun was shining, blue sky, big puffy white clouds – picture perfect : ) We took some really fun pictures, they were SO happy to see each other, and just as we were finishing up – rain started showing it’s wet face…

Rain then turned into a downpour and downpour turned into the hardest rain of the summer so far!

Oh yea – they were scheduled to have an outdoor ceremony that evening…. Hence the pictures of everyone sitting around in the pavilion. They made the most of it – taking pictures under the overhang, playing cards, and staying relaxed : )

Bre was such an easy going bride! She did her best to wait it out, but then they made the decision to head up to the reception site and get married there. It was still a beautiful ceremony!!

We had so much fun at their dance and with their photo – also – a shout out Kelly Anderson – for coming with us that day!  It was fun to have you along!

Make sure to see when Bre dances with her daddy : )  To ‘Dancing on Daddy’s Shoes’ – literally!

Thank you Bre and Dana for letting us be part of your day! We can’t wait to see pictures from your reception in the Bahamas!
